SPARK ARRESTER

SPARK ARRESTER
YOUR PRODUCT MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED WITH A
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER. If the product will be
used around flammable materials, such as agricultural crops,

DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE

DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to
your generator it is necessary to know the total wattage of the
connected load. To determine which tools and/or appliances
your generator will run follow these steps:
1. Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items
simultaneously.
2. Check wattage requirements for the items you will be
running by referring to the load's nameplate or by
calculating it (multiply amps x volts = watts).
3. Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives
volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.
1 KW = 1,000 watts.
4. Motorized appliances or tools require more than their
rated wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2 1/2 to 4 times the listed wattage for
starting equipment powered by electric motors.
5. The generator's rated watts should match or exceed the
total number of watts required for the equipment you
want to run.
6. Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first,
then add other items one at a time.

OPERATING VOLTAGE

OPERATING VOLTAGE
CAUTION: Operating voltage and frequency
requirement of all electronic equipment should be
checked prior to plugging them into this generator.
Damage may result if the equipment is not designed
to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/-
3 hz frequency variation from the generator name
plate ratings. To avoid damage, always have an
additional load plugged into the generator if solid
state equipment (such as a television set) is used. A
power line conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.
A power line conditioner should be used when running
one or more of the following solid state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment
Other solid state equipment may require a power line
conditioner. For more information, contact our Customer
Service Department at 1-800-445-1805.
